Even though Eevee knew Demon Slayer Renzo was just provoking it, trying to get under its skin, it still fell for it.
"Fine! I accept the challenge! I'll figure out how to unlock next evolution and will master all these moves as soon as possible!"
"Just you wait—you'll be groveling at my feet, begging for my forgiveness! Hmph!"
With that, Eevee arrogantly raised its chin.
Of course! It was on the path to becoming Arceevee, the ultimate Eevee! There was no way it could take the ordinary route!
"Worst case scenario, I'll just get Uchiha to help me! That guy's got a real talent for developing abilities."
Eevee secretly plotted in its mind, sneaking a glance at Uchiha Renzo.
"???"
Uchiha Renzo caught the look and felt weirdly unsettled. He glanced around, confirming that Eevee was indeed staring at him.
Confused, he asked, "What?"
"Nothing! Nothing at all!" Eevee quickly shook its head, flustered.
It couldn't let Uchiha Renzo realize it was planning to use him as a tool.
"Well then, I'll be counting on you! Try to get it done as soon as possible! Otherwise, you might not even be needed anymore." Demon Slayer Renzo added casually.
Who knew how powerful he'd become if it took too long?
"Ugh, stop nagging already!" Eevee huffed in annoyance.
"I said I'll try! Whether I make it in time or not depends on your luck!"
If Apocalypse Renzo and the others could quickly figure out the Blood Orchid and Evolution Serum, it might be able to fast-track its growth and awaken even sooner.
It'd have to evolve into Flareon or Jolteon first. After all, it had a natural affinity for those two elements, thanks to Uchiha Renzo's Lightning and Fire attributes.
"The ability to analyze all things…" Hero Renzo stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Maybe I can use it to analyze weapons, equipment, even artifacts?"
That reminded him of the chūnibyō magic sword he got from Aqua.
If he could analyze it, he could start crafting some proper, legitimate magic gear suited for a hero's world.
"And I could even break down the magic runes inside!"
Speaking of which…Hero Renzo suddenly had a realization and blurted out, "Wait a second—something's not right!"
"What's not right?"
Everyone turned to look at him.
"Think about it!" Hero Renzo spread his hands, explaining,
"If this 'Analyze All Things' skill really applies to everything, and it's tied to a creation-level eye technique like Takamagahara, then shouldn't it also be able to analyze the differences between world rules?"
"And if that's true… wouldn't that mean we could use it to adapt ninja hand seals to our own worlds—so we wouldn't even need the Domain Projection to use ninjutsu?"
That was a huge discovery!
If he hadn't thought about analyzing magic runes, he might never have made the connection.
"Huh?! You're right!"
"That actually sounds possible!"
"Should we test it?"
"Let's do it!"
"How about we all go back and run some tests? Meet back here in half an hour?" Gundam Renzo suggested.
Then, he turned specifically to Uchiha Renzo.
"Especially you, Uchiha! The rules of the Ninja World are particularly important!
If we can fully understand your world's rules, we can compare them to our own and make adjustments to the hand seal techniques. That way, we can properly integrate ninjutsu into our worlds!"
"Got it! Leave it to me! As long as it's just about the relationship between rules and hand seals, it shouldn't be too hard." Uchiha Renzo nodded and agreed.
"Tch! What hand seals? Shouldn't ninjutsu be something you just snap into existence? This is totally unfair to people like me who don't have hands! I wish you never made this discovery!" Python grumbled in frustration.
Even if they succeeded, so what?
It wasn't like it could use hand seals anytime soon!
No hands = no ninjutsu!
"…Uh… my condolences?"
The other Renzos were momentarily stunned before looking at the python with sympathy.
Even Eevee, despite being a fellow handless creature, couldn't help but feel lucky.
For the first time, it genuinely appreciated that it was still better off than Python.
At least it could use its paws to form hand seals!
Before long, everyone disappeared from the consciousness space, returning to their respective worlds to conduct their experiments.
Even Python had no choice but to leave.
However, just before it completely disappeared… it faintly heard the sound of footsteps in the space...

Back in the Ninja World
"The connection between rules and hand seals, huh? Guess I'll give it a shot."
With that thought, Uchiha Renzo immediately headed to the underground training facility. Activating his left eye's dojutsu—Omniscience—he formed the hand seals for the most basic Fireball Jutsu.
Sure enough, under the power of Omniscience, he noticed the differences.
First, he could completely analyze the relationship between the Fireball Jutsu and its hand seals, as well as the principles behind how it took shape.
In fact, by doing this, he even discovered certain flaws in the jutsu—flaws that he could potentially improve.
More importantly, he saw that the hand seals followed a structured formula that dictated how ninjutsu functioned.
And within that formula was exactly what they were looking for—the fundamental laws of the Ninja World.
"Damn… This Omniscience ability is even stronger than I expected! It can help improve ninjutsu too? That means it's useful for allkinds of research!"
"Once Apocalypse and Gundam find out about this, they're gonna lose their minds with excitement!"
Uchiha Renzo smirked.
This was a game changer for their research progress.
And for Eevee?
This could allow it to analyze its own evolution and regression process, breaking down all the rules behind them.
With this ability, Eevee could potentially gain complete mastery over every new form.
At the very least, it could fully grasp Jolteon, Flareon, and the already-documented evolutions of Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon just by analyzing their existing evolution processes.
As for the other ten evolution types that hadn't been discovered yet?
That would require deeper investigation.
"Alright, time to keep testing different ninjutsu and see how the hand seals fit into the overall rules!"
Uchiha Renzo didn't hesitate. He immediately started casting jutsu one after another.
He even intentionally picked ninjutsu that used a lot of hand seals—like Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
That Technique required forty-four hand seals!
Even at Renzo's speed, it still took him a few seconds to complete.
Seriously, people actually used this in battle? What a joke.
But for testing the connection between hand seals and the laws of the Ninja World? It was perfect.
Of course, he couldn't just cast something like that inside the underground base—way too cramped.
So, with a quick teleportation, Renzo moved to a remote, uninhabited area on the outskirts of Konoha.
And then, the real experiment began.

Half an Hour Later
Back in the consciousness space, a newcomer sat slouched in a chair, looking bored.
Muttering, "Seriously? There were people here just a second ago, and then—bam!—everyone vanished?"
"Would it have killed them to wait a few seconds? Now I have no idea what's going on!"
"Ugh… leaving blindly probably won't solve anything either. Guess I'll just wait for someone to show up."
Then, grumbling again:"Harry and Ron—those two idiots. Can't they ever be a little smarter?"
"And Dumbledore—that old geezer totally rigged my Sorting! There's no way I should've ended up in Gryffindor! I explicitly told the Sorting Hat I wanted to be in Ravenclaw!"
"Ugh… I do not vibe with meatheads."
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Suddenly, the silence was shattered by the sound of rushed footsteps echoing from multiple dimensional portals.
Mixed in with them was an odd, rustling noise.
The newcomer immediately jumped up from the chair, eyes lighting up with excitement.
"They're back?! Finally!"
"Huh? There's…?"
Pirate Renzo was the first to rush out of a portal.
He had been about to say something—until his eyes locked onto the unfamiliar figure standing before him.
The moment he registered their appearance—
He froze.
Staring wide-eyed, his mouth trembled as he stuttered, "A… a girl?!"
"How is that possible? A female Renzo?"
